  • Patent number: 11730087
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method and apparatus for the airborne dissemination and implantation of seeds utilizing an aerodynamic seed delivery apparatus with built-in nutrients, anti-pest, and anti-fungal properties that can be disseminated rapidly from an airborne platform. The velocity of impact and depth of penetration into specific soil types by the delivery apparatus can be controlled up to a terminal velocity kinetic energy by exploiting a specified drag coefficient, mass, and altitude of release. The seeds are delivered and imbedded into the soil at the optimal depth and orientation to maximize germination rates, since seed orientation has a pronounced effect on germination and sprout mortality rates. Flight paths for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) utilized for dissemination can be automated to adjust coordinates based on wind vectors, terrain elevation data, and soil permeability data to efficiently achieve a desired penetration depth across a specified geographic area.

  • Patent number: 11698935
    Abstract: A method for maintaining links is described. A document selection is received, including a first destination document containing a first link to linked content. A first source document containing the linked content and not contained within the document selection is identified using the first link. A copy mode is selected, using an intrinsic property associated with the first link, from: a first mode where a second destination document that is a copy of the first destination document is generated and includes a second link to the linked content within the first source document, without copying the first source document, and a second copy mode where i) a second source document that is a copy of the first source document is generated, ii) the second destination document is generated and includes a second link to the linked content within the second source document. The selected copy mode is performed.

  • Publication number: 20230138787
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a method and system for processing medical image data. The method can comprise querying, using one or more monitor processors of a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) monitor, a storage unit on a PACS server for available image data; determining, using the one or more monitor processors, if the available image data is new image data; retrieving, using the one or more monitor processors, the new image data from the storage unit on the PACS server if the available image data is new image data; processing, using one or more model processors, the new image data using a machine learning model to obtain a model result; generating, using the one or more model processors, at least one of an enhanced image data and a model result report based on the model result; and storing the at least one of the enhanced image data and the model result report for retrieval by a computing device.

  • Patent number: 11554345
    Abstract: This invention relates to a process and apparatus for growing agricultural products with a reduced abundance of radioactive carbon-14 (14C) by employing centrifugal separation of atmospheric gases to selectively remove carbon dioxide (CO2) with 14C. Agricultural products with reduced 14C content can be grown in controlled environments with filtered atmospheric gases for the benefit of reducing harmful damage to human DNA that is unavoidable with our current food chain, due to the natural abundance of 14C in atmospheric gases. Bilateral and unilateral compression helikon vortex apparatus provide efficient and economical removal of CO2 with 14C from atmospheric gases with a single filtration pass, which is ideally suited for large scale agricultural production.

  • Patent number: 8036909
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide for systems, apparatuses, and methods for collaborative watershed restoration projects, which may include one or more restoration actions involving a variety of different stakeholders that, when completed, provides a positive contribution to the ecological health of at least one watershed. The identified restoration actions may be a comprehensive list of actions recognized as addressing limiting factors that may exist in a watershed. Ecological outcomes may drive stakeholder involvement in collaborative watershed restoration projects. While the system provides transparency to the projects that are being funded, stakeholder confidence may benefit from additional assurances provided through a certification that the projects are satisfactorily completed.
